"To all members of the Frontier Militia and YoRHa, it has been a millennia since the aliens have attacked and this was grueling and many android lives were lost in the conflict. But thanks to you, you both pave the way for mankind to rebuild with your united efforts. Remember: This is your home too and we would like nothing more than to return. Your efforts have gained the upper hand against the machines. Glory to mankind." The message ended.
The 6-4 are conducting a reconnaissance on the desert for any important targets. Droz was getting tired of the same message over and over again, its as if it was a way of saying you're all doing a great job and keep up the good work which was appreciated but annoying. Gates ignores the message as she uses her telescope to spot for anything. Their little camp is up on a mountain as it is filled with weaponry, supplies and their titans parked near them alongside an anti-personnel turret. Bear on the other hand is taking a break alongside Davis who is looking down as if he was thinking of something.
"Something the matter? You're not acting like your chatty self." Gates asks Davis causing him to look up realizing that Gates was calling him. Davis tries to think of something underneath his helmet.
"Hey guys...Does anyone smell something fishy about this Council of Humanity?" Davis asks getting Bear's attention and though it doesn't look it, Gates and Droz as well.
"Fishy? They're just a bunch of survivors of earth who fled to the moon. Nothing fishy there." Gates replied as if there was nothing wrong about them.
"No as in...Like say that you've been on the moon for years right? Then suddenly out of the blue, other humans from the Frontier come in and want to reclaim their home. Would you greet them in person or send in a liaison or something?" The male pilot hypothesized.
"Maybe they're busy." Bear suggested.
"How can you be busy when literally the humans that got away from a hellish viral outbreak that was caused by something straight out of Skyrim or a JRPG and also some weird cult experiment suddenly came back? We haven't seen any human that greeted us from there or invited us into the moon base. Heck they don't want us to come in..." Davis said.
"And you're saying?" Droz asked.
"I have two theories on what's going on and its sounds a little stupid but bear with me: Either this Council Of Humanity is a bunch of aliens parading around as humans so they can kill us or...There was no council at all." Davis concluded. Gates turns around alongside Droz grabbing their attention. Bear sighs and shakes his head in annoyance.
"You got that from that stupid Tom Cruise movie didn't you?" The ghillie suited pilot asks.
"Okay I made the first one up cause I ran out of ideas but the second one...It sounds plausible. There is something on that moon and its certainly not human. In fact, their liaison is the commander chick and she's keeping us in the dark. Its as if the Council of Humanity doesn't want to see us. Plus looking at the damage cause by these aliens, I doubt anyone would survive this alongside project Gestalt." Davis explained with Bear agreeing.
"So you're saying there's an AI on the moon telling the androids what to do? Then who created them in the first place?" Gates asked.
"Possibly other androids? Heck, those Devola and Popola gals mentioned other models of them before the androids appeared." Droz added agreeing with Davis that the humans on earth are dead.
"Then why would they be fighting when humans are dead?" The female pilot asked again.
"Morale I bet. Think about guys: Machines everywhere and nothing to fight for. Nothing. So what do those early androids do? Give them a will to fight in a war that has been lost to keep up morale." Davis extended. Gates surrenders to this theory.
"That means the androids were lying to us the whole time." Gates replied.
"Not quite. Perhaps the commander knows and the androids are pawn to the game of fate." Droz explained.
"Look, we better stop talking about this. If there is Council Of Humanity up there then we'd be big trouble with the androids and looking at how they fight, I don't want to think about getting sliced up into little me's or getting into a three-way war against the IMC and YoRHa." Bear advised.
"We're working with possibly insane robots...And I thought things were looking up for the Militia..." Gates sighed and continues watching.
